ILLUSIONIST Derren Brown has revealed he is planning to turn a straight man gay.

The former Bristol University student is hoping to turn people’s sexuality with his powers of suggestion alone.

The hypnotist also thinks he can use his abilities to make gay men attracted to women.

The 41-year-old, who studied law and German during his time at Bristol University, told The Sun: “I was thinking about this the other day – it would be interesting wouldn’t it? To take a gay guy and make him straight and a straight guy and make him gay.”

Previous experiments have seen the illusionist use mind control to make a teaching assistant believe the world had been taken over by zombies. He has also hypnotised people to rob a security van and even convinced a member of the public that he wanted to try to “kill” TV presenter Stephen Fry.

I would love to see this. I have a really homophobic friend and it would be interesting to see his attitude change. I suspect though, that Derren can only influence people who are hiding their light under a bushell
